Privacy assured in this updated home only 5 minutes from downtown Highlands. A large great room with soaring ceilings, massive windows that bathe the space in natural light, gleaming hardwood floors and a wood-burning stone fireplace are just a few features to assure mountain living with a contemporary flair. The thoughtfully designed floor plan on the main level features a split plan with the primary suite on one wing and 2 bedrooms and baths on the other. All baths showcase lovely designer tile and paint to complement each to showcase an elegant style. An office/study is perfect if still needing workspace or simply a library/reading nook. A lower level is finished with 2 bedrooms, updated baths, and a large great room with a massive stone fireplace and bar area. A workshop/storage area is a plus and is separate from the 2-car garage for rainy days in our rain forest. There is a view and trimming will enhance and there is now a great winter view once the Autumn leaves fall. Freshly painted with designer colors and updated kitchen and baths this lovely home is ready to enjoy our season, and Thanksgiving and Christmas! The roads ends in a cul-d-sac so no through traffic! Plus, the road is slated for repaving by the city. Come and enjoy the perfect blend of mountain serenity and modern luxury!
